Definitions
- the invention relates to a multimode switched-mode power supply for operating in a first control mode when the output power supplied is lower than a predetermined value, and in a second control mode when the output power supplied is higher than the predetermined value.
- NL-9201428 discloses a dual-mode switched-mode power supply comprising a transformer with a primary and a secondary winding. A series arrangement of the primary winding and a switch receives a mains voltage. Control pulses control the switch to stabilize an output voltage supplied by the secondary winding to a load. In a first control mode, when it is detected that the power supplied is lower than a predetermined value, the control pulses have a first fixed repetition frequency. In a second control mode, when it is detected that the power supplied is higher than a predetermined value, the control pulses have a second fixed repetition frequency which is higher than the first fixed repetition frequency. It is a drawback of the known dual-mode switched-mode power supply that mode transitions result in an undesirable ripple on the output voltage.
- an object of the invention to improve the stabilization of the output voltage caused by the mode transitions while maintaining a high efficiency at a low output power.
- a first aspect of the invention provides a multimode switched-mode power supply as claimed in claim 1.
- a second aspect of the invention provides a control circuit for use in a multimode switched-mode power supply as claimed in claim 5.
- Advantageous embodiments are defined in the dependent claims.
- the multimode switched-mode power supply in accordance with the invention, operates in a first control mode when the output power supplied by the multimode switched- mode power supply (to one load or more loads) is lower than a predetermined value, and in a second control mode when the output power supplied is higher than this predetermined value.
- the control circuit may control the frequency of the multimode switched-mode power supply to obtain a substantially constant peak value of the inductor current, independent of the output power supplied.
- the substantially constant peak value of the inductor current in the first control mode is substantially equal to a peak value of the inductor current at an instant when the second control mode is altered into the first control mode. The instant when the second control mode is altered into the first control mode is determined by the output power decreasing below the predetermined value.
- the peak value of the inductor current is substantially constant during transitions between the control modes, the control behavior of the switched-mode power supply is not disturbed and the output voltage will be stabilized very well, even during these transitions.
- the peak value of the current in the primary winding jumps significantly when the repetition frequency of the control pulses changes during a mode transition (because, during a mode transition, the output power supplied is nearly constant).
- This peak current jump causes difficulties in the control loop of the switched-mode power supply with respect to stability and transient effects on the output voltage.
- the control loop will require some time to adapt to the new peak current value, and consequently, the stabilization of the output voltage will not be optimal.

- Figs. 4F and 4L show the voltage Vcl which indicates when the sawtooth voltage Vc across the capacitor Cl crosses the reference level Vref3.
- the comparator CP1 detects that the output voltage Vop of the opamp OA1 is higher than the reference value Vref2.
- the switch S2 is in the position in which its terminals Ta and Tc are interconnected. At instant tl, the measurement value Mv which represents the primary current
- the switch S 1 opens, the primary voltage Vp starts increasing, and the diode Dl starts conducting.
- the voltage VI across the auxiliary winding LA becomes negative, and the output voltage Vdo of the comparator CP2 becomes low.
- the diode Dl stops conducting, the voltage VI crosses the reference level Vref4, and the voltage Vdo becomes high, indicating that the transformer TR is demagnetized and that it is allowed to switch on the switch SI again.
- the high value of the voltage Vdo causes the switch S3 to open.
- the sawtooth voltage Vc across the capacitor C 1 starts rising.
- the sawtooth voltage Vc reaches the reference level Vref3, and the output voltage Vcl of the opamp OA2 becomes high.
- both the voltages Vcl and Vdo are high, the SRFF SR is set and the switch S 1 is closed.
- the measurement value Mv again reaches the reference value Vref and the switch SI opens, the same cycle will be performed as that which started at tl.
- the output voltage Vo is stabilized because the reference voltage Vref varies with the output power supplied to the load Zo.
- the comparator CP compares the actual current Ip through the primary winding Lp with this varying reference voltage Vref to switch off the switch SI when the primary current Ip crosses a value corresponding to the actual value of the reference voltage Vref. For example, when the output voltage Vout is too high, the reference voltage Vref will decrease, and the switch SI will be opened at a lower peak value of the primary current Ip. Thus, the peak value of the primary current Ip is controlled in such a way that the output voltage Vo is stabilized.
- the comparator CP1 detects that the output voltage Vop of the opamp OA1 is lower than the reference value Vref2 and switch S2 interconnects its terminals Tb and Tc.
- the measurement value Mv which represents the primary current Ip in the primary winding Lp reaches the fixed reference level Vref and the comparator CP resets the SRFF SR.
- the switch SI opens and the primary voltage Vp starts increasing.
- the switch SI opens at a fixed peak value of the primary current Ip.
- the diode Dl starts conducting.
- the voltage VI across the auxiliary winding LA becomes negative, and the output voltage Vdo of the comparator CP2 becomes low.
- the diode Dl stops conducting, the voltage VI crosses the reference level Vref4, and the voltage Vdo becomes high, indicating that the transformer TR is demagnetized and that it is allowed to switch on the switch SI again.
- the high value of the voltage Vdo sets the SRFF SR2 causing the switch S3 to open.
- the sawtooth voltage Vc across the capacitor Cl starts rising.
- the sawtooth voltage Vc reaches the reference level Vref3, and the output voltage Vcl of the opamp OA2 becomes high.
- both the voltages Vcl and Vdo are high, the SRFF SR is set and the switch SI closes.
- the set of the SRFF SR resets the SRFF SR2, and the switch S3 is closed. It may also happen that the voltage Vc reaches the reference level
- the switch SI will be switched on at the instant when the voltage Vdo becomes high.
- the output voltage Vo is stabilized because the current source II supplies a current to capacitor Cl which depends on the voltage Vop which is a measure of the output power. It should be noted that the current source II supplies less current in the first control mode than in the second control mode (because the output power is lower) and thus the sawtooth voltage Vc is rising less fast. Therefore, it takes longer before the sawtooth voltage reaches the reference level Vref3, and thus the switch SI will be off during a longer period of time.
- the switch will be closed for a shorter time. Consequently, due to both these effects, the power supplied to the load Zo will be lower in the first control mode than in the second control mode. It is possible to replace the controlled current source II by a resistor connected between the nodes N2 and N3. Also in this way, the charge current of the capacitor Cl depends on the output power supplied to the load Zo because the voltage Vop at the node N2 varies with the output power.

- a diode D2 has an anode connected to the node N2 and a cathode connected to the node N6
- a resistor R4 is connected between node N6 and the reference voltage Vref2'.
- the reference voltage Vref as shown in Fig. 3 is again supplied at node N6.
- This embodiment of the feedback circuit MC operates as follows. At a low output power, thus in the first control mode, the error amplifier OA1 ' supplies a voltage at the node N2 with such a level that the diode D2 does not conduct. Consequently, the reference value Vref has the fixed value Vref2', and the peak value of the current Ip through the primary winding Lp is constant. At a high output power, thus in the second control mode, the error amplifier OA1 ' supplies such a voltage at the node N2 that the diode D2 conducts. Consequently, the reference value Vref has a value that varies in accordance with the output power, and the peak value of the primary current Ip will depend on the output power supplied.

- the logic AND Al has a first input connected to an output of the demagnetization detection circuit DMG, a second input connected to an output of a voltage- controlled oscillator VCO, and an output connected to the set input S of the SRFF SR.
- the output Q of the SRFF SR is connected to the control electrode of the switch SI via the driver circuit DR.
- the feedback circuit MC comprises a circuit FBC which receives the output voltage Vo to supply the feedback voltage Vfb which represents the value of the output voltage Vo.
- the circuit FBC may comprise an element such as an optocoupler or a pulse transformer to bridge the voltage difference between the primary and secondary side of the power supply.

- a switch control circuit SC receives the measurement value Mv to control the switch S2 to interconnect the terminals Ta and Tc when the output power (and thus the peak value of the primary current) is higher than a predetermined value, and to interconnect the terminals Tb and Tc when the output power is lower than the predetermined value determined by Vref2.

- the main difference with respect to the circuit shown in Fig. 3 is that, now, error amplifier OA1 controls the set instant of the SRFF SR when the switch SI is closed by controlling the frequency of the voltage controlled- oscillator VCO.
- the current Ip in the primary winding may also be measured with a transformer, while it is also possible to measure the voltage across the switch SI when this switch has a substantially constant impedance when closed, which is, for example, the case when the switch SI is a field-effect transistor.
- the multimode switched-mode power supply may have further control modes than the mentioned two modes, for example, for an extremely low or high output power.
